The reason that pan is not reccomended for campfire cooking is because it has a teflon non-stick coating which won't hand the heat. Over time exposure to high heat will deteriorate the surface....
It looks like they leave the burrow fairly quickly after you see them out and about so that shouldn't be a problem. Eastern chipmunks mate in early spring and again in early summer, producing l...
Consider buying a power bank with a solar charging panel; that lets you recover from an accident like leaving your phone on overnight with something consuming power. There are two main types on t...
I grew up car-camping in a frame tent (slept 4 in about 1/4 of the floor area). Those things are heavy. Seriously heavy. Lifting the fabric onto the central pole with that half-extended was hard...
I think your question spells out pretty well why people prefer other materials (cost,weight) and they really aren't used for backpacking where weight matters. The times I have ever seen them in us...
We have several feeders. Chickadees will eat nyger until the sunflower feeder is empty. Gold finch and purple finch seem to prefer the nyger seed. So far the only bird that eats millet seed (fou...
I make camp coffee as follows: I use large tin cans as pots. They can be gotten at any restaurant, cafeteria and hold about 3 quarts. It's quick work to add a wire bail to them. Morning coffe...
I run into similar problems on canoe trips. My camera is a through-the-lens viewfinder, not an electric screen. Doing an entire canoe trip (3 weeks) and taking ~500 frames is easy. In additio...
What I like to do is essentially make little tea bags but with coffee filled with coffee grounds. You take the filters you would normally filter your coffee through, put a little coffee in it and t...
Although this has been mentioned in some comments, it needs to be stressed more strongly: Do not rely exclusively on electronics for navigation, in particular not on a smartphone! You must always...
Indonesian "mud" coffee works fine. If coffee beans are ground sufficiently fine, you can just put some together with near-boiling water, stir a bit, wait 3-5 minutes and all of the grounds will s...
A couple of points that I think haven't been addressed: Charging efficiency is greatest when you are charging between around 20/30% and 80%. So try to not let it get below 20% and try to stop wh...
If you use just the forepart of your foot and your knees are close to the wall, your calves are already naturally at an angle where your feet exert pull. That makes it easier to bring your body cl...
Declination is simply the difference between the value you have, and the value you want. It's the difference between true and magnetic north. A good map will have both marked, it will also have "...
Based on my experience Most of the coldness I experienced while camping came from the ground. My advice is to take an extra ensolite pad with you. Best one of those with those metallic surface on ...
The simple answer is to first draw the declination diagram (or at least picture it in your minds eye). Following is an edit of my answer over at GIS.SE: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/617...
According to the diagram in the instruction manual, that is called a braking notch and the only mention is If the rope is inserted incorrectly into the Click Up i.e. not following the indicati...
Remember, your compass points to magnetic north while to finding True North requires calculation. This means that the declination needs to be added to/subtracted from the magnetic bearing i.e. w...
I can only speak from my own experience with equipment that I can only qualitatively compare with yours. At the upper end of the range you quote (in the fifties F, 10+ degrees C), you will be war...
Whether a rounded edge is a problem strongly depends on your climbing level. In my experience, for normal people this is not much of an issue as footholds are big enough to step even with a rounded...
I think this advice is really targeting beginners that use the arch to stand on a big hold. The arch is the worst part of the shoe to use, because it has very poor usable surface area, it's angled...
Generally speaking, newer shoes are going to be better and more effective and yet as you well know that costs money. So what it really comes down is a cost/benefit analysis that's going to be up to...
You can actually estimated your hiking distance with Tobler’s hiking function with default parameters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobler%27s_hiking_function). This means that speed on flat surfa...
If you find it hard to remember between adding and subtracting, you might have more success with a visual approach. This works for me: I have a spatial memory, so it takes effort to remember lists...
Size: The great spotted is greater in size than the lesser spotted. Perhaps that goes without saying but the difference is quite significant. The great spotted is about the size of a blackbird. Th...
